Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°

Mix Together the Cookie Dough

1. Using a paddle attachment
2. for your mixer (or mix with
3. a spatula) cream together
4. the butter, sugar, and egg
5. replacer.
6. Add in the dry ingredients
7. and mix on a medium speed.
8. Once mixed, add the vanilla
9. extract to the dough.
10. Prep an area with
11. parchment paper and use the
12. rolling pin to evenly spread out
13. the dough to 1/4” thickness

Cut and Bake the Cookies

1. Use the square cookie
2. cutters to carefully cut out
3. the cookies.
4. Once cut, evenly lay out the
5. cookies onto a parchment
6. paper covered cookie pan.
7. Bake for 8-12 minutes

Create the Icing

1. While the cookies cool,
2. create your royal icing.
3. The icing must start off with
4. a lot of air bubbles, so use
5. your mixer to combine the
6. water and meringue powder
7. and whisk the two until light
8. and frothy.
9. Gently fold the powdered
10. sugar into the mixture to
11. stop the powder from flying
12. out, then mix on a mediumhigh setting.
13. The icing should stiffen and
14. form peaks. If too stiff, mix
15. in 1/4 tsp of water at a time
16. until the consistency is the
17. same as shown. Once ready,
18. separate evenly into two bowls.

Add Color to the Icing

1. Use a toothpick to add moss
2. green gel food coloring to one
3. bowl of icing. Add in small
4. amounts, cleaning the toothpick
5. each time, until you get your
6. desired green.
7. Take half of the green icing and
8. place in another bowl. In this
9. new bowl, add a tablespoon
10. or two of water until you get a
11. smoother consistency. This will
12. be your green flood icing.
13. Split the bowl of white icing in
14. two and create white flood icing
15. as well.
16. Fill 4 piping bags with the icing,
17. use #1 piping tips for the stiff
18. icing and #2 for flood icing.

Decorate with Icing

1. Begin with the stiff white
2. icing and outline along the
3. edge of the entire cookie.
4. This will be your barrier and
5. keep your other icing from
6. spilling over.
7. Take your white flood icing
8. and starting from a corner
9. of the cookie, fill the entire
10. surface of the cookie within
11. the edge of the stiff icing.
12. Use a toothpick to move
13. the icing around and fill in any
14. open spaces within the icing.
15. Add more icing, if needed.

Place the Chocolate Candy

1. Turn the cookie and place the
2. large red chocolate candy
3. on the left side of the cookie.
4. Gently press into the icing.
5. Then take the two smaller
6. candies and place them
7. above the larger candy to
8. form Mickey’s ears.
9. Set aside to allow the top to
10. dry slightly.

Add the Details

1. Once the first layer has
2. firmed up create the holly
3. leaves using the stiff green
4. icing. Start from the corner
5. to the right of the Mickey
6. and draw C sideways, facing
7. up three times.
8. Repeat by drawing C three
9. times facing downwards. Be
10. sure to connect to the ends
11. of the upper line. Draw an
12. oval in the middle of the leaf
13. and fill in the edges.
14. Repeat and create a second
15. smaller leaf below the first.
16. Use the stiff white icing
17. to draw a border of evenly
18. spaced dots all around the
19. edge of the cookie.

Final Tips

1. Set the cookies aside to
2. allow the icing to dry and
3. harden for a few hours. You
4. may need to allow for more
5. time depending on the
6. temperature and humidity of
7. your kitchen.
